Astronomy Picture of the Day [1]Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 April 1 IFRAME: [2]https://www.youtube.com/embed/oTkbHJsqCZM?rel=0 A Double Sunrise from a Partial Eclipse Video Credit & Copyright: [3]Jason Kurth; Music: [4]House of the Rising Sun ([5]Sebastia McQueen via SoundCloud) Explanation: Can the Sun appear to rise twice at the same time? This was just the case a few days ago from [6]Les Escoumins, [7]Quebec, [8]Canada as our [9]Solar System's bright central orb rose just as it was being [10]partially eclipsed by the Moon. The [11]featured video shows this unusual double-sunrise in real time and being reflected by the [12]St. Lawrence River. Soon after the initial two spots of light appear over distant clouds, what appears to be [13]bright horns become visible -- which are really just parts of the Sun not being eclipsed. Soon, the [14]entire eclipsed Sun is visible above the horizon. In all, this broken [15]sunrise took less than two minutes during a [16]partial eclipse that lasted many times longer. Although the Moon [17]circles the Earth once a month (moon-th), it does not always eclipse [18]the Sun because its [19]tilted orbit usually takes it above or below.
